Dell XPS 15 for $1199. There is also a code for $100 off.

It has a 15.6" 1080p screen. But because it has a very thin bezel, it is basically the size of an average 14" laptop. It has a quad core i5-6300HQ CPU and nVidia 960m GPU. Weighs in at about 4lbs. Based on reviews the average battery life is about 8 to 9 hours depending on what you are doing (no gaming).
